There’s a
cool new project I recently heard about that I wanted to share with you.

It is theAfricaStudyBible.

As
pastor with a heart for missions and knowing context is critical, this new
Bible hopes to help bridge the gap of cultural understanding and relevance
of the Scripture to everyday life in Africa. Because most discipleship and
biblical resources come from a Western perspective and viewpoint—a culture far
removed from Africa. Africans have lacked a resource that connects with their unique
experience, hindering discipleship. So the goal of this new Bible is to create a resource that will disciple and equip others to grow
strong in Jesus Christ and to give insight into God’s Word from an African perspective.
The AfricaStudyBible will be bringing the power of
Scripture to Africa in a new and culturally relevant way.

The AfricaStudyBible
will contain more than 2,200 features planned
by Africans who teach and lead God’s people. Designed to grow the faith of African
church members, teach them to evangelize their communities, and apply a
biblical worldview to their society, these features will include application
notes, stories and proverbs, touchpoints that link Africa and the Bible, learn
notes that explain basic theology, and major theme articles that apply the
Bible to key issues.

This project isn't a reality yet. But below you can
check out a video about the project, read about some of its features, and even
learn how you can be a partner in bringing it to reality through their
Kickstarter page.
